Semi-insulating, powder samples of Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) have been studied using ¹¹¹In Time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlation (PAC) Spectroscopy. The samples have been lightly doped (~10¹² cm⁻³) with ¹¹¹In atoms, which occupy well-defined metal (Cd) lattice sites and act as probes of the local environment. These substitutional donors form a...
Perturbed Angular Correlation Spectroscopy (PAC) is a highly sensitive local
probe technique well suited for studying defect characteristics of solids. This technique is
applied to the problem of studying the solubility of indium in cerium oxide. Through the
measurement of samples with differing levels in indium doping, the solubility of...
Perturbed Angular Correlations (PAC) spectroscopy is an effective
local probe technique often employed in the characterization of defects or
phase transitions in any of a variety of materials. This technique relies
upon the ability of probe nuclei to function as gauges of the magnetic
fields and electric field gradients local...
In order to understand better the defect structure and dynamics associated
with lower valent dopants complexed with native defects in group IV oxides, In/Cd
perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy was performed in ceria and zirconia. Examining
the orientation symmetry axis of defects in ceria single crystals at low temperature
has allowed...
